Designed for young people, this night was the opportunity to find out more about key issues around the EU referendum, understanding arguments from both sides of the debate and, obviously, be able to form your own opinion.

We had 6 people coming to represent their parties and explain why they want to leave or stay in the EU. The discussion was well balanced as we had just as much of remains as leaves.
